Excellent Ron, Zuckerman's Canon in D has a nice ring to it!!

Monday Creek starts in the township in which we live and empties, eventually, into the Hocking River here in Ohio US.
Water is life.

This tune is for 3 dulcimers tuned in DAD and it is in the baroque style. I used 3 different dulcimers for this recording: 26.5" VSL red cedar, 26.5" VSL poplar, and 24" VSL poplar.

Dulcimer Canon in D

We composed this tune some years back.  This recording was made for the 2020 Little Cities of Black Diamonds online fest.  
Each of Mark's grandfathers worked, at one time or another, mining coal at Essex Mine.

Quittin' Time at Essex Mine

Years ago, the nickname for the Zanesville & Western Railroad was the Zagzag & Wobble.  The name seemed to work with the tune.  :)
We recorded this version of the tune for the 2020 online version of the Little Cities of Black Diamonds festival.

Jamulus Live Session - Colemans March

An Everyday Prayer

Wake up, wake up darlin Corey, what makes you sleep so sound?
Those highway robbers are comin', gonna tear your steel house down.

Wake up, wake up darlin corey, and go get me my gun.
Said I ain't no man for trouble, but I'll die before I run.

First time, that I saw darlin corey, had a wine glass in her hand.
She was Drinkin down her troubles, with a low down sorry man.

Last night, as I lay on my pillow, last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow, I dreamed darlin Corey was dead.

Now go, dig a hole in the meadow, and it's go dig a hole in the ground,
Let's go dig a hole in the meadow, gonna lay darlin Corey down.

Darlin Corey

The title is in reference to a long walk we used to take-- the walk to Beech Grove Church & graveyard.  The gravel road has been closed for some years now and the last time we attempted a walk, it had become impassable even on foot.

Road to Beech Grove

I'm primarily a dulcimer player, but I also play guitar, recorder, and bowed psaltery. I write music in a variety of styles.
